    Finally got my new tyres , had to seat them with a little explosion, but they look great, can't wait to try them out on some rough stuff

    Here's a utube of seating one of them

    This reminded me of a time when I just couldn't keep proper tire pressure in one tire. I changed out the stem a couple of times but that didn't solve the problem. I even changed out a perfectly good tire only to find that the problem was in the rim. The rim is welded together and the QA person failed to catch a very small pin hole in the weld. I found this after submerging the inflated tire in water and watched bubbles come from the weld seam. This was an easy fix. I just added a tube and problem solved!
